What does it mean to conduct artistic research today? This exposition of artistic-research work is an invitation to reflect on the present through the prism of current artistic research. Situated in-between provocation and reflection, the exhibition and the series of public lecture-performances and lectures give insight into the diversity of topics, methods, perspectives, and discursive and display strategies afforded by artistic research.

What are the limitations and hazards of such intermingling, and what becomes generative and fecund in these contact zones? To discuss these questions together with the artist-researchers, this four-day event extends an invitation to be present and join the PhD in Art programme in discussing the exhibition and presentations of the current state of the PhD in Art projects. Reflecting on the candidates’ artistic work together with the audience, on the practices, modes and methods of research and critical analysis, four renowned international guest critics will contribute from their perspective and give insight into their own work in the field.

Guest critics: Sebastian Cichocki, Davide Deridu, Yael Eylat van Essen, Astrid S. Klein

Participants: Tamara Antonijević, Niels Bonde, Nisrine Boukhari, Erik Bünger, Margit Busch, Andrew Champlin, Cristiana de Marchi, George Demir, Rah Eleh, Jošt Franko, Oscar Gardea, Joseph Leung, Judit Navratil, Ana Rajčević, Marthin Rozo, Juli Sikorska, Georg Tremmel, Conny Zenk
